stupid first world problems you're dealing with

Bad bitchez who try to fuk wid me end up in a trash can like Oscar the Grouch

You are a hardened thug. =(

Had a soft ice cream cone today just to be different. Fucking gross. Soft ice cream should be banned.

Also, this handsoap my girlfriend bought makes my hands smell like vaginas. I can't stop sniffing my fingers.

Does it taste like vaginas?

Please try and report back including what age and ethnicity the soap represents.

If possible please also include your theory on the handsoap vagina's most recent dietary intake.

Important.

Ahh, the lols, I had them. PS Limpy, you're not alone in that category.

My FWP is I'm about to embark on a cross-country train trip with my brother and all the tickets to our first destination are sold out. FML. Who seriously takes a 26-hour train ride to Chicago in August?

fwp - just got stood up on my day off, lol. I'd been pretty busy to make this an awesome night, ar well, wtf eva

Also, birds keep tearing apart the welcome mat at my front door, for nesting material. This is the second one they're working their way through. One the one hand it's annoying because it makes the mat look a little untidy. But then again, it's kind of cute to think that i'm providing a little comfort for the little peeping chicks nestled in the surrounding trees and hedges.

Ran out of gas last night so had to shower with cold water (bbbbrrrrrrrr!). As a result I was superfast and left conditioner in my hair.

 

 

(the irony here is Picard would never have this problem)

I am certain that it is a problem that he would be happy to endure.

Then again, a great part of his marketable visage now rides on the fact that he's hairless.

Some cunt left chocolate on the tube seat I was sitting in and I didn't notice until I got up an hour later.

Now there is chocolate stuck to my bum :(

That's terrible, a pox on whomever did it.

You've upgraded your photo mr ivan =)

This is also terrible. Can't curse this with pox though, as i believe that it's already suffering from it.

I heard yesterday that my dad won't live past December and I don't know how to deal with shit like this except with alcohol. I don't know how to express my feelings, as we aren't a family that does that. I don't know what to do with myself. I don't know what to do for him.

I don't know anything I guess.

Shit, man. I'm sorry.

that's tough. sympathies. my family is like this as well and I'm sure when the time comes I'll be in the same boat. I know exactly how you feel when you talk about the booze being an outlet and I know how difficult it must be to say no to it in light of this, but... you must. there's no other way. try to replace it with something more "productive", as lame as that sounds.

 

It doesn't sound lame, but it's really hard. I really don't know what to do here. We aren't a family that expresses our feelings or anything. I've been considering writing a letter to him since we don't really know how to talk to each other. I want to tell him how all this makes me feel and the influence he's had on my life, etc.

I'm not sure if that will aggravate him or bring him to peace. I don't know!

I imagine some watmmers have lost one or more parents.... I have an interesting background. Between my years 1-15, my parents didn't pay any attention to me. They always poured their love and attention into my older brother. I developed a complex and acted out in school, etc. Presumably, my young brain though that was getting their attention lol.

As my years progressed and I matured, I started to overachieve in school and in life in general. I work far too much. 100% owned my first home at 20 years old, etc. I guess in my fucked up brain I thought I was impressing my parents since I never seemed to be able to do this as a kid.

But this hasn't done anything. I guess in the end I still feel like I've let my parents down even though I'm working so hard. I'm having a hard time coming to grips with the fact that maybe my Dad is disappointed in me and he will die disappointed in me. Or maybe he's proud of me but doesn't know how to say it. I don't know. My dad won't even admit he's sick to me (though everyone knows). I think he's worried how I'll take it. Fuck why does life have to be so complex?

I'm really confused and I don't know what the future will yield and I don't know how to handle this.

Sorry for rambling but that was cathartic to type out my feelings...

Sorry to hear that man. I guess my only advice would be to savour the time you have with him.

I was in a similar situation last October, though my dad pulled through in the end.

If he hasn't told you it means he doesn't want you to feel pain over it. You should make some attempt at communication in whatever form is comfortable to you. A letter may lead to a conversation, and at least you can have said you did your best in the end. The clock is ticking. Don't waste time.

I'm happy to hear your dad is ok. =)

His ailing health over the years has contributed to my depression and drinking habits... Right now he's living at a distance, he's in the US. He's miserable where he's living but I think in his mind if he dies far away it will have less impact on me and my brother....

That's what I'm thinking too.... Thanks man. I think a letter will be the best way...

That's rough Stephen, sorry to hear it.

Not gonna attempt to advise you as I don't have experience with this situation but imo it is definitely not the time to drink.

My sympathies.

Yeah man, whatever you want to tell him, make sure to tell him. You don't want that unresolve lingering about for the rest of your life.

I appreciate it man! And you're right... If I continue this cycle of self destruction things will only get worse. You're right drinking isn't the best way to deal with it.

I definitely don't.

In addition to all this, him and my older brother (he's 27) haven't talked in 12 years. They had a fight over something my step mom did. So at the same time I'm trying to bring them back together before he passes so that my brother isn't totally fucked up for life and at the same time I think it's part of my dad's depression.

Aghhh!

Thank you WATMM for being my therapist tonight... Sorry for the ranting.

I guess I'm a pretty fucked up kid!

Good points for sure... last thing I want to do is vent my feelings if they're going to make him unhappy in his final months.....

The same fly has been keeping me awake for two nights now. I'm tired :<

Edit: Didn't see the convo above me. Sorry to hear that Stephen. As everyone else have said, don't waste any time.

I don't mean to come across as a dick, but I wonder if maybe some brutal honesty is in order.

Maybe instead of tiptoeing around your dad and trying not to upset him isn't necessarily the best way to go about things. If there's a chronic communication problem with your family, then maybe you need to batter that down. It's ok to be rationally angry.

I think it's alright for you to say to your dad "Hey, I was terribly unhappy for pretty much all of my life, and some of that's down to you. I was the child, you were the adult. But I'm willing to put that aside because even though you haven't admitted it to anyone yet, you're sick, dying in fact, and I'd rather not spend the rest of my life wishing I'd felt able to talk to you about this."

I dunno, people's concept of reality, life, whatever changes when they know they're not going to get to be part of that reality any more. Maybe issues that could previously be glossed over are suddenly apparent. Chances are he's pretty angry too, plus more aware of your feelings than he's letting on but doesn't know how to approach the subject because he's never had to.

And in terms trying to play family peace-maker I do have experience. You'll exhaust yourself and may never feel satisfied.

If you stay strong and don't drink during this unfathomably horrendous time, that'll be a truly great achievement, not to mention something to show your family.

Sorry, I didn't intend on this being such an essay, but I felt it was worth saying.
